Its another one for the record books.
Even more exciting for Disney and Marvel, the worldwide estimate forThe Avengershas now topped One Billion.
Unfortunately, good news forThe Avengersmeans not-so-good news forDark Shadows.
So, now thatThe Avengershas captured another record, lets update where the blockbuster stands.
Speaking of Tim Burton, did you know that this was the week thatDark Shadowswas coming out?
Dont worry, a lot of other people seemed to have forgotten as well.
WithThe Avengerslooming large, no one expected outsized numbers fromDark Shadows- especially after the critics weighed in.
Then, at number ten with an estimated $1.35 million from 322 locations, is LionsgatesGirl in Progress.
After last weekends box office record-breaker I wondered how front-loadedThe Avengerswould be.
We all know that word of mouth on the Hasbro movie has been, er, mixed.
And,unlikeDark Shadows, Battleshipwas designed to appeal to precisely the same audience as our reigning superhero champs.
Think theres room for two at the top?
